Gameday Q&A: Kevin Henry of 66ers Nation

With the Tulsa 66ers in the Capital City tonight to play the Toros, I got a chance to talk to 66ers Nation‘s Kevin Henry to preview tonight’s game.

1. The 66ers seem to have plenty of talent on the roster to put points up on the board. Are you afraid that could stunt the growth of some prospects like Jerome Dyson?

There’s certainly a lot of talent on the 66ers roster. The thing that I’ve noticed about Coach (Nate) Tibbetts is that he does an excellent job with rotations and finding lineups that mesh together in certain circumstances. I really think that was one of the keys to Tulsa’s run to the D-League championship series last season. This year, with players like Dyson and Tweety Carter coming off the bench, I think Coach is one again working some magic and finding the right chemistry. You can tell that Dyson is just one of those versatile guys who can make plays when given the chance, and Coach is giving him that chance. I wouldn’t say that his growth would be stunted as much as he could really blossom playing alongside guys like Zabian Dowdell and Larry Owens.

2. Zabian Dowdell is a player the Spurs worked out a few times years ago when he declared for the draft. How has his development been going?
